TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFI' ATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 722,543, dated March10, 1903.

Application filed July 28, 1902- Serial No. 117,315. (No model.)

To (tZZ 1071 0121 it may concern:

Be it known that I. ARTHUR WILLIAM THORNTON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of McKeesport, in the county of Allegheny andState of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Tobacco-Pipe,of. which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in tobacco-pipes, the objectbeing to provide a simple and novel means for condensing or separatingthe moisture and nicotine from the smoke, thus preventing its enteringthe smokers mouth.

I w ill describe my invention and then point out the novel features inthe appended claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in n hich similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side view of a pipe embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of thecondenser emplo ed, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4. 4 o Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates a pipe of ordinary construction,and attached to the pipe is a condenser, comprising a small n; iinder 6,which may have removable caps 7 at the ends or one of these caps may beimmovable attached to the cylinder while the other is removable.

Arranged in the cylinder 6 is a tube 8, which forms acondensing-chamber. This tube is closed at its end toward themouthclosed end of the condensing-chamber 8 a tube 11 providescommunication between the cylinder 6 and the bore of the pipe-stem. Itwill be noted that the bore of the pipe-stem is plugged or stopped, asat 12, between the tubes and 11.

I will here state that m-y'mvention may be considered as a new articleofinanufacture,

because it can be made andso ld to the trade and readilyattached to apipe of ordinary construction.

In operation the smoke passes through the tube 10 and thence backthrough the condenser 8 and then through the cylinder 6 to the tube 11and out through the mouthpiece of the pipe. In this circuitous passagethe moisture and nicotine will be thoroughly separated from the smoke,and thus a clean and practically cool smoke will pass to the smokersmouth.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to ecureby Letters Patent- As a new article of manufacture, a condenser adaptedto be attached to a tobaccopipe, the said condenser comprising acylinder, a tub; secured in the cylinder and closed at one end, a tubeleading through the wall of the cylinder and having a portion extendedinto said first-named tube, and a tube leading from the cylinder nearthe closed end of said first-named tube an also arranged to lead to theinterior of a pipe-stem.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

ARTHUR WILLIAM THORNTON.
